For some decades surrounding 1900, many in Norway feared the Finnish immigration and Kven people in Northern Norway, coining the term "the Finnish danger". For a period, interests in Norway wanted to annex parts of Lapland (most notably the "arm" protruding from the north-west and into Storfjord) as buffer zones. The controversy around Finns in Norway subsided over time, and the land claim never materialized into open conflict.[1]
